Korean girl group Wonder Girls break into US airwaves

SINGAPORE: Popular South Korean girl band Wonder Girls recently became the first ever Korean group to enter the rotation playlists of some of the top radio stations in the United States, according to reports Tuesday.

The band's agency JYP Entertainment said in a press release that the Wonder Girls' US debut single "Nobody" has made its way into the rotation playlists of 18 out of 167 "Top40 Radio Stations" located across major US cities.

A song on the rotation playlist means it will be played at least once or twice a week for a month, before another assessment is made on weather it stays on.

According to an airplay analysis chart by music website Mediabase, "Nobody" was played over 65 times by US radio stations for the week of October 12-18, raising the group's airplay standing by 16 spots from the week before to rank 107.

JYP Entertainment said it expects the group's airplay to continue to increase, and enter more rotation playlists as they become more widely known in the West.

The band, which consists of five members aged 17 to 21, shot to fame in late 2007 with the hit single "Tell Me", and went on to conquer parts of Asia.

The five-piece, known for their saccharine voices, catchy tunes and sultry dance moves, made their foray into the West with "Nobody" released in America in June, and performed as the opening act for all 53 Jonas Brothers concerts.
